  • Caught up to SSS-Class Suicide Hunter after hearing about it in OI subreddit. I don’t really like tower/hunter manhwa, even dropped Solo Leveling back in the day despite phenomenal art because the story was just too repetitive. Anyway, SSS-Class Suicide Hunter. It’s awesome. The tower is used more like a scene to tell different stories in different genres. MC starts pretty unlikable, barely better than people he has revenge boner on for. But, over time, he starts getting better, not as in grows on you, but as in becomes a better human being. For the other characters, I liked Sword Emperor because he combines being a comedic relief and being a wise mentor who cares about his student so well.





  • Read the first volume of Secrets of the silent witch, which is based on a LN (4th volume is out today, check it out). Mainly read it because I like novels, but it is well-drawn too. The artist quite likes moka pots for some reason. There are more moka pots per volume than in most cooking manga.

    Anyway, the plot. First of all, the official description:

    THE SHIEST WITCH YOU’LL EVER MEET! Monica Everett, the Silent Witch, is the only mage in the world who can use unchanted magecraft, a true hero who singlehandedly defeated a legendary black dragon. However, this young genius is actually…super-duper shy! That’s right: She learned to cast spells silently just to avoid speaking in public, and despite her power, she has zero self-confidence. Now Monica has been tasked with secretly guarding the second prince. Can she keep it together as she faces both the evil forces targeting the prince and the terrors of social interaction?

    It’s a fantasy shoujo and not an isekai, but it takes a lot of tropes from otome isekai (primarily villainesses, which is a popular fad in-universe). Overall it’s a heartwarming story with some comedy, and MC working on her social anxiety and befriending people in general.
